Sutherland received such severewounds that he' was unable to 'proceed with his party, after he had succeeded in owrcoming the spirited re sistance of the gallant fellows opposed to him. The two parties, however, entered and carried all before them, driving the enemy from bastion to bastion, until they came to the one where Dhurrnajee and his brotiser had taken post with a few men . ; these threw Clown their arms, and Dhurtnajee and his brother %vete made prisoners. The Ghurry is of considerable strength, at d noted as a receptacle for thieves and vagabonds. It forms' a square with eight bastions. The gar rison were chiefly Brinjarries, and they fought with the utmost deteunination, and, excepting the small party tinder Dhurmajee,,neither gave up 1 of en of JESTI"S ORDNANCE do hereby girt Notice, ?hat Proposals will be received at their Office, iu Pall-Mail, kfore Trednesday, the 30th Instant, from such Per as may be 2ciliin, to undertake the Supply CANDLES, " T " Service of this Department, at Woolwich, for a period ; ° f chte Year, from, the lit of January next.

Advices from Poonah, dated Ist May, mention, that his Excellency Sir Thomas 1-lislop had been at that city for some days, accompanied by a large staff, and escorted by a squadron of his Majesty's 22d Dragoons, a detachment of the Rocket Troop, with a bligade of 6-pounders, a Rifle corps, and the - 17th Light infantry. On the 30th April, his Excellency revieved the Poonah brigade ; at the close of the manoeuvres, Captain Staunton was directed to fall in with, and assume the command of the 2d of the Ist or Grenadier Regiment, Col. Kemp being absent on other duty. The Officers of this Regiment having been drawn up in front of their colours, his Excellency, ac companied by all his Staff, and. about 40 other Officers, rode up to • them, and addressed Captain Staunton in a strain whiCbrniust have been highly gratifying to his feelings, and those of the other . Officers and men of the brave battalion which he commanded. The Commander-in-Chief expressed, the high gratification he felt in the opportunity he then had of seeing this distinguished corps sita - der arms ; he desired that Captain Staunton would have it explained to all the men, that the sentiments of atlmiration, which lie had formerly expressed in hi; General Orders to the Army, were, if possible, heightened from the inspection be had of Korgganm, the scene of their renown ; that he halted there a day for the gratification and pleasure of examining it, and that his esti). nisliment at their noble efforts in such a position baffled all description. To this flattering testi mony of the heroic intrepidity of the corps on the_ ever-memorable day of Korggaum, Captain Staun ton replied,, by assuring his Excellency, in the name of the battalion, that the approbation and thanks of the distinguished Commander-in-Chief of the Deckan army, would ever be to them one of the proudest recollections associated with the victory of Korggaum. After the review, which our Correspondent describes as having been a grand military spectacle, the following General Orders were. issued : , Proposed by Sir Robert Wigrarn, Bart. and seconded by ind be nie Charles Forbes, Esq. 111.

Their plot, how ever, was discovered, a quantity of treasure was seized, Apia's father-in-law and all his adherents, taken into custody and sent, cif under a strong escort, and the principal person concerned in raising the troops was hung.

His Excellency Sir Thomas Hislop desires to express to Colonel holes and the Poonah Brigade the satisfaction h.e derived from their military ap pearance and steady performance in the field this morning. " It was particularly gratifying to his Excel lency to have an opportunity of seeing under arms that distinguished and gallant corps the 2d batta lion of the Ist or Grenadier Regiment ot Bombay Native Infantry, a corps whose conduct at Korg gaum had so j►►stly entitled it to that expression of the praise and applause which Sir Thomas Hislop had the gratification to publish to the Army of the Deckan, in General Orders ot the 2lst of January last. (Signed) " F. H. S. CONWAY, ".Adjutant-General of the Army." There was - a large party in the evening at the Hon. Mr.Blphinstone's, at which the band of the 2.(1 Ist were in attendance, and amon4st other se lect pieces of music, played the Battle of Korg ganm. This piece of music was greatly admired by all present ; it is the coMposit ion of the Master of the hand, who, we are informed, is an extraordinary genius in his profession. In this instance he en joyed one great advantage over other musical pro fessors, as he had been present in the action, where he distinguished himself by the skill and execution of his performances on an instrument called a musket. Bomara, AUG. 15.—8 y accounts from Aruba, dated theist of August, we have the satisfaction of receiving the particulars of a dashing and gal lant affair performed by Lieut. Sutherland, com manding a Risalah of his Highness the Nizatn's reformed horse, in the taking prisoners of Dbur majee and iii 3 brother. From intelligence received during the night of the 30th July, Lieut. Sutherland was hubseed to alter the direction of his march on li dyton to Dotty,' which latter place lie reached a little after day-break, and he immediately surrounded i,t with a few men who had come up for some miles at a gallop. The place was subsequently more closely in vested, and preparations were mode in the after noon for an escalade. Eighty mounted men were formed into eight parties, and so phe ed as -to prevent escape. Thirty matchlock men were postal on *a hill which overlooked the village, and the' remainder were formed into two storming parties ; the one headed by Lieut. Sutherland and the other under Ist Je midar Shadeekban. On a signal given to -the hill and repeated to Shadeekban, the parties advance:a to the storm. On the approach Of the party un der Lieut. Sutherland, the garrison threvi open the gate and stood bravely to defend it sword in hand. Shadeekban led on his party with a coolness and determination which would have conferred honour on any troops; placed the ladders•and ad, vanced . through the body of the village to -meet CEYLON INTELLIGENCE.--.JULY 11. The latest accounts from the interior give a favourable repremitation of the present state' of affairs ; there appears to be a great rt!axttion in the hostile efforts of the rebels, and in many parts of the country our troops are busily employed in securing the crops of paddy, and getting in large quantities of grain, with the assistance of many natives, who are paid for their labour in reaping with a part of the produce. The sivhole tract of country from the South East extremity of Saffragan to the North East border of the Seven Korles, embracing one-half in ex tent, and much more in value of the Kandyan ter ritories, continues perfectly quiet. The rebels tram. Alatele had attempted an incursion into the Seven Korles, but Lieut.-Col. Hook writes that they have been driven back across the Didero Oya. In Oudapalata, between 40 and 50 families who had fled into'Kotmalee, have returned peaCe ably to their residence in the neighbourhood of Gampala. The latest letters from Badulla are of the 28:h and 30th ult. and the intelligence is altogether of a gratifying nature. No opposition bad been made for many days to any of the escorts ) . and the few natives on the hills have generally retrained even from abusive language. In Wellassy all was quiet, and the \barmen were busily employed with their cattle:in Wing ing up supplies, without any opposition. Major Coxon reports that tranquillity pre vails in Bandookora, and the troops in the posts on. the Katteragam line are becoming more, healthy. Lieutenant Wilkinson makes a most favourable report of improved state of affairs at Passera. By this morning's post we hear from Kandy that a numerous meeting of ,the rebels took place ut Hangeramketty on the sth instant, when it was resolved to make a grand attack on the post of Godamoone. On the 7th and Bth this design was pia into execution in a true Kandian The Pretender, Kappitopola, and several other Chieftains took up their position on a about two miles off, and about 5000 rebels made the assault premeditated. They began each day about noon, and continued till near midnight but their fire was at such a distance that not a single man in Godamoone was hurt, nor is it thought - that -many of the assailants tutiated in their dastardly attempt.
